Jesus’ command to his disciples drives us to take our resources and faith BEYOND our limitations to accomplish God’s purposes here. As a church, we have again reached the capacity of our limited space and are taking faithful steps to pursue solutions that require dedicated fundraising. BEYOND encompasses the expansion of our Montrose Church worship center as well as building up our new campus at Pasadena Bresee.

Question: The example gift table in the Commitment Card implies that 50% of the gift has to be given up front. Is that the only way to give?

Answer: No, the table is simply a “suggested” giving schedule. You determine how much you can give up front and how much you will give over the three-year period.

Question: Are we paying anything for the Pasadena Bresee building?

Answer: No, we are not purchasing the Pasadena Bresee building, nor are we required to pay rent. Bresee and the District have asked us to come so we are not being charged to occupy the building. We will, however, incur building operating costs, such as utilities and taxes.

Question: Will the church finance any part of the building or Bresee projects?

Answer: Possibly. Financing depends on the amount of initial donations. It is possible that we could fund all projects without taking out any financing. However, if we need to finance, it may be in the form of a construction loan or credit line that we would expect to be fully repaid by the end of the three-year capital campaign.

Question: Will members of the church that are contractors be used in the construction project?

Answer: Yes. After the building project plans are complete, we will ask members of the congregation who would like to participate to submit bids on the sub-contractor projects.

Question: What is the timing of giving over the three-year campaign; monthly, quarterly, or annually?

Answer: The timing of your giving is your decision. You may give monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. You can simply (1) place a check in the offering or (2) make your initial donation online now, and then schedule your remaining gifts online. All gifts should be designated to the “BEYOND Capital Campaign”. We will help you track your commitment with periodic giving statements.

Question: Why are we expanding the church sanctuary?

Answer: This expansion will help us accomplish several goals:

Greater flexibility on the types of events that can be held at the church through expansion of the stage

Be an example in the places you already participate – work, coaching, PTA, scouts, and more

Invite new people to your LifeGroup and/or invite your friends to a church service or event

Serve at our new Pasadena Bresee campus, where we will have several opportunities as we move forward with this project

Question: Will new staff be added as a result of the Pasadena Bresee campus?

Answer: Yes. We want to offer student ministries for the Pasadena Bresee community. A portion of the BEYOND funding is designated to hire required staff, which will be in advance of increased giving at the new campus.

Question: How long will it take to complete the sanctuary project?

Answer: After the approval processes are complete, the building project will take an additional 6 to 9 months.

Question: Is May 19th the only date that commitments will be received/accepted?

Answer: No. May 19th is initial and primary date for submitting your Commitment Card and initial contribution (by check or online), however we will be taking commitments through June 30th. Be sure to designate all payments to the “BEYOND Capital Campaign”.
